From the Inside Flap:

Freaky Foods From Around the World is taken from my experiences traveling around the world with my husband and two sons. The greatest hurdle came when we sat down to eat a meal. Although both boys were adventurous, there were times we had to resort to freeze dried noodles we learned to carry with us. This book is for those children who do not get an opportunity to travel. Through this story, they too can learn about foods from different cultures.

About the Author:

Ramona traveled with her husband and two sons to over 14 different countries. The hardest part about traveling with her boys was getting them to eat the different foods. Upon returning from her trips, she decided to write this book so that other children could share in their travel experiences.
